So, like many of you, I have been playing Torchlight to try and sate my thirst for D3 (to no avail unfortunately), and I've mainly been playing the destroyer, and I have to tell you, I really like the devastate skill. If you haven't played Torchlight, when you use devastate, you basically hold down the mouse button, and the destroyer will follow your cursor, draining mana as he goes. He hops around taking huge swings, and (imo) it's pretty sweet. It works like ww in a way, good for groups of monsters and it keeps you moving so you don't get schwacked.
Now, at the risk of upsetting people, dare I say I like it better than ww? Now hear me out. WW is one of my favorite skills in D2, in fact my wwsin was one of my fav chars to duel with, but it always bothered me that I was supposed to believe he was spinning like a freaking tasmanian devil all over the place, somehow not puking all over the monsters and still being able to tell which direction to go, etc. It just never seemed right to me, but I loved how much it owned, so I put it out of my head.
But now along comes devastate, and I really like it. Torchlight is ok, though obviously nothing compared to D3 (or D2, or D1) but they had a great idea in devastate. I would love to see the D3 barb use something like it. What do you guys think? I think Blizzard would make it way better, and it would be a good contrast to ww, where ww is just a chaotic flurry of steel, the new-and-improved devastate would be more of a serious of well placed blows designed to keep you moving out of your opponents reach at the same time.
Obviously this is just something I think would be cool, as I'm pretty sure they pretty much have the barb all figured out, but I'm just curious if anyone agrees with me?
No comment?

Just checked out a vid of the devastate skill of the destroyer right now to see what it was really about.
Hmmm...am an alchemist guy...^_^
I sure got a nice laugh with ur reference to Taz but I guess its not too hard to put the devastate skill in a funny context too.:)
However to remain on topic, i can't really tell u the gameplay-wise difference between the two until I have had a go at the destroyer.
Just asking u- how about a blend of the two...a little jump and a spin? To acquire some more momentum and hit with more force...but then I guess the barb could just play do the ballet as well:P
But am sure blizz could make it look cool...;)
PS- as long as the 5 chars are all not yet out there...blizz did say that the chars are constantly undergoing revisions, so maybe a revamped WW is not that out of question:)...However it was also said that barb and WD are almost complete... Sorry for lack of official quotes to back my words...
They should make "Devestate" for the battlemaster tree so you will run and bash enemies with your shield
Yeah, like charge up to an enemy and smack it with your shield, flinging it back. Then, while he is stunned, jump at him with your sword/axe/whatever and rip him up. Then back to shield and just back and forth while you hold it.

Yea i kidna agree with that. also, the WW is a classic and i will be very sad if they took it out :confused:
Oh and ww is also for cutting your way through the hordes of demons... how can u get more diablo'ish than that.
Yeah, I was kinda thinking the same thing. WW is in berserk tree correct? Maybe a devastate-like skill would be in battlemaster or juggernaut.
